Riverbend TEC is continuously seeking inspired youth and adults of all ages to serve on the Riverbend TEC council. Of course, leadership roles within Riverbend TEC are not limited to the council. Riverbend TEC actively nourishes the next generation of TEC leaders whom are relied on to evangelize as well as contribute various roles during TEC retreats. To accomodate this goal, Riverbend TEC holds a leadership training program each year to help individuals understand and develop their unique gifts, and most importantly provides encouragement toward how such gifts can better serve our Lord through TEC and beyond.

If you are interested in serving on the council or if you would like more information about the Riverbend TEC leadership development program please contact Riverbend TEC today!
